ORIGINAL: BBBTBW I just viewed your profile and your picture doesn't smack of a woman who is overweight simply because of extra skin. Your face holds way too much fluff for that to be the only factor. You're right about that. However, the pregnancy was the beginning of it. Before, I cared about my body and staying in shape. My shoulders and hips were exactly the same measurement, forming a perfect hourglass. I wore a size 7 and was not a woman of girth. After the pregnancy, I found out the ugly skin was there to stay and no amount of exercise or even starving myself would fix it. People were asking me how far along I was months after my baby was born because of the stupid skin. At that point I began to eat and gain weight. I knew my body would never ever look good again anyway. I would never look good in a bikini or feel comfortable having sex with the lights on. I could never look in the mirror again and like what I saw. I am now a woman of girth. But even if I wasn't, I would still look fat anyway because of the stretched skin. My body was destroyed by the pregnancy before I ever gained weight. Sweetheart, this is understood. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US that has ever been pregnant has suffered some stretched skin, loss of muscle tone etc. Even if we didn't have the extra amniotic fluid you had, we have all suffered. The difference is we don't take it lying down, we don't continue to have self defeatist attitudes. Consider doing this. Go to GNC and get you a bottle of 5bht, it is a seratonin booster (happy pill). It will help the seratonin in your brain develop and give you a more rosey outlook on life. Write me on the other side and we will develop a rapport and perhaps a support system for each other. I could stand to lose a few pounds, tighten some muscles and perhaps entertain the idea of having some skin removed. The passage that I highlighted is the negativity you have to get rid of. THIS does not help you. THIS is your true enemy and will hold you down. Stop seeing yourself as an ugly fat woman. Start seeing yourself as a Beautiful, Desireable, Attractive, Intelligent, POSITIVE, Sexy Woman of the future. It doesn't matter whether you lose the weight or have the tummy tucks. The thing that matters is how you carry yourself and present yourself to those you want to find you attractive. I admit I wear my 300+ lbs pretty well because I am so tall....However what you don't see is under the clothing iI have the extra skin, the stretch marks and the rolls of fat (I have 2) <GRIN>. Men are not stupid, they know if you have some girth with clothing, that you will have some girth without clothing...Just think of it this way. NO SUPRISES for them. If a man is turned off by stretch marks, scars etc...and they see someone they see as perfection without seeing what is underneath the clothes, imagine the suprise they will get when they find an imperfection. Just because a woman is thin does not mean she is perfect. It just means she can hide her imperfections better. Personally I would rather mine be known from the get go...that way I don't have to deal with bad personality BS. Honestly, if you think its ok for a man to go get plugs or take chemicals to give him the effect of having hair, then why can you not go do something about yourself? Get your priorites and your expectations in sync and realistic and things will get better for you.
